I love this treadmill, it was tough bringing it into my basement alone but when I finally did and set it all up it was an ease dealing with daily. Especially being able to fold her up to keep my basement roomie still

Bought this treadmill for its size, price, and brand reputation. I’m very happy with it so far. It is very well made and very sturdy. The walking surface is just long enough for my long stride ( I’m 6’1”) while still being a relatively compact size. I am a walker, not a runner, and this meets my needs well. My only complaint is the handles. At higher speeds I need to hold on for stability , and the handles are not comfortable for this; I wish they had incorporated the thinner type handles to hold on to. Also, as per others comments , you do NOT need to sign up for IFit to activate the treadmill

Good instructions, very easy to assemble (less then an hour) . Works perfectly so far, just a little too noisy for my taste. Very stable, wide and long enough for us (both my wife and I are over 6' tall).
The reason for 4 stars is the BS to force you to subscribe to iFit application in order to start and use your device. The instructions to bypass the application or to cancel the subscription are almost zero and you have to do your own research and navigate through the confusing pages on their website or call customer service. It took me 10-15 minutes to do so.

It works good as a basic Traedmill. The heartrate sensor don't show consistent reading, anyways it is less important functionality for me. Sometimes the Treadmill can't elevate or goes autimatically up without any command , I guess it is a software issue ? I found I have to switch OFF power and turn ON again to make elevation work properly. The Display is basic good enough for me. It should have bluetooth connectivity with speakers at least so I could use phone/Tablet to see and use these 2 speakers while workout. Anyways, I liked this Treadmill.

I bought this model as I believe Best Buy was phasing it out for a newer one, but am very happy with it. It's pretty big, and takes up more space in my office than I was hoping, but that's no one's fault but my own for not efficiently measuring out the space. I like that it folds up but still feels very solid. It's easy to use and supports my bigger frame (short but stout) just fine. I didn't want to pay $1000+ for a machine, but didn't want something that felt cheap, either. This fits the bill perfectly.

Great treadmill for the price. I bought it on sale and it does take time for it to be delivered but it is worth it since I cannot go to the gym during this pandemic. Speed maxes at 10mph which is fine for most people who can’t run fast. Great incline that doesn’t go too high. Has a tablet holder that you can use for the iFit app or watch tv. The only downside is the iFit company really pushes their app to control the whole treadmill. I can’t manually do anything without the app but I will continue playing with it. Overall a good treadmill

The quality is satisfactory. It is sturdy.
It took longer than expected to assemble but instructions were very good. Had trouble completing set up because of problems with ifit instructions. I call number provided and was able to register product and unlock.
We have not added a heart monitor nor have we tried the speakers.
One area of dissatisfaction is the width of the handrails. We have small hands and the width is not as comfortable as our previous machine.

Love this Treadmill.
Super sturdy, a little noisy, but overall very happy!!
I don't like the fact that I have to sign up for the "service", even though it is free for the first month to unlock the machine.

Best living room closet my mom ever owned lol But seriously…purchased for my mom, was delivered timely and in good condition, it went together fairly easily, works well. It would be 5 stars for the price if it weren’t for having to dig online for the method to bypass the subscription service so you can use the treadmill in “manual mode” without it.

Thus far the Treadmill works well. I use it four times weekly without issue. For some reason it tripped my breaker several times whilst in use. The machine was delivered on time. I paid to have it assembled. Great for home use. The iFit on the machine can be bypassed, as such you don’t have to subscribe to the service. I recommend purchasing an additional warranty.

Great directions, assembly pretty straight forward. You will need to adjust the belt which may take a few times before you get it right.

Definitely sturdy and good on the knees when running. The built in speaker is pretty weak, and you need a lighting to 3.5 adapter to make it work. When you first start, the unit will say it’s locked and needs to be activated online. You can by pass that easily and you won’t see that message again. I also wish it was cheaper .

This treadmill is an excellent value. Easy to assemble (at one point you WILL need a second person) and simple to use. In short, this ProForm gets the job done.

Great treadmill for the price. I assembled it myself because it was $250 for assembly. It took several hours and was a bit more difficult than I expected. The directions were poorly illustrated so I found a helpful video on YouTube. The parts were perfectly vacuum sealed and numbered which saved a lot of issues.
It's better quality than I expected and has worked really well for the past several months. I skipped the exercise tutorial that came with a few months free because I expected that I'd be auto-billed and didn't want that problem

Great starter treadmill. It is very affordable and easy set up. It does take approximately one to one and a half hours to set up but once you are done assembling it and start using it it will be worth the time taken to assemble. Whole family love it!!!

Very good treadmill for the money. Easy to assemble. Just know you don’t have to subscribe to Ifit. Press the ifit button for about 3-5 seconds to unlock the manual mode and it will work just fine.
